LEGALIZATION THE HERER WAY

Re "Up in smoke" by David Downs (SN&R News, January 29):

Or they could just get behind the finest cannabis-legalization 
initiative in the world and make this simple for everyone. Jack Herer 
wrote The Emperor Wears No Clothes and followed that with a brilliant 
legalization initiative titled the California Cannabis Hemp 
Initiative (#CCHI2016), which ensures fair and equal access to the 
"new trillion-dollar crop" focusing on protecting existing medical 
laws and enabling personal and industrial uses to become the bedrock 
of a new economy. Hemp can save the planet, but only if we have 
widespread and fair access to it. We're talking about hemp fuel, 
fiber, plastics, food and medicine- a real game changer, while they 
just keep trying to control, dominate, tax and regulate weed sales. 
Californians aren't stupid and we won't settle for less than we 
deserve. As Herer said, "If you can't grow it, it ain't legal!"
